Spring Studio

Last week I Spring cleaned the studio.

I changed my postcard/inspiration wall to match the new season. I left the painted vintage seedtrays where they were. They're ready for Open Studios in July and with the addition of a few tacks are great for displaying my jewellery.

The collection of postcards is a little more colourful than last summer, which I think stems from the sudden blast of Spring colour in the garden and from the enamelled colour I've been adding to my silver recently (new items will be in my etsy shop soon).

Your studio looks absolutely delightful Emma - as does Little Miss Pebble although I'm sorry to hear she has been poorly. I'm intrigued to hear about your mystery visitor and look forward to hearing more in June! Lucy xxx

Your studio is inspirational not only for its beauty but for the fact you manage to stop it being used as a junk storage place. (I just know my husband would fill it as he has already done this in the house).

That is the cutest studio! I have a neat little shed out back of our farmhouse, but currently it's full of boxes. I need to clean it out and decorate it like a garden shed. Thanks for the inspiration. I wish I was close enough to take the silver clay class! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I am sure you could never fail to be inspired by having a studio like yours. I try to do the same in my little back room but I think that having a space away from the house is what really makes it. I can at least open the window onto trees and birds (and a nice sunny breeze when the day allows!).

Dear Emma, I just found your blog today and was so impressed, not just with this post but with all your past posts (well, I didn’t look at all of them, but the ones I did look at) great job. Looking forward to having more time to come back and really dig in, your little cottage studio is adorable. I wish I could join you for apple cake and tea. It looks like the perfect place to relax and let your creative juices start to flow. Thanks for sharing. Your new fan and fellow blogger, Connieplease come visit, my welcome mat is always out.

GORGEOUS. Right, I'm off to build a shed in the garden and make it beautiful and call it my studio. I love the colours you've used, it's dreamy. I hope it is an inspiring and productive place for you. Gillian x

Now THAT'S a studio! What a wonderful place to work. I hope you don't mind a personal question (!) is your studio warm even in the winter? If you have a little woodburner in the corner I may just die with envy...

Saw a link to your blog from Tales from a Cottage Garden blog, and am amazed to see your studio which is soooo like my little summerhouse - I will send you a photo of that by email! Love the interior of your studio - I think it's slightly larger than mine, as mine is only 8ft by 6ft (maximum space we had for it) and it's lovely to see how you have decorated yours! Love those patchwork curtains. I don't have any curtains in mine, maybe something I should consider, but in such a small space I think it would be overwhelming. And, although we live by the sea, I've not decorated in beach-hut style, more country garden style.Margaret P

Just came by way of Tales of a Cottage Garden and Oh my I adore your studio! Being an artist myself I can appreciate all your inspiration on the wall and art table and every wee corner of your studio. It is truly wonderful. I would sure love to share you studio on my blogs Sea Cottage and Seawashed Studio...let me know if I can and of course I will link back to your blog and etsy shop. ox
